Like the actors are famous and this was pretty famous drama before airing so I thought it would be more than 7.9

Is it not good or what? Why are the rating so low?

As a straight guy, I know that most K-dramas especially rom-coms and romance series are primarily marketed toward a female audience, and there's nothing wrong with that. But after a while, I get tired of seeing the same decades-old tropes repeated over and over. Hollywood has the same issue. So many romance stories seem to follow a familiar formula, and it makes me wonder: how often do we actually get movies or TV series that cater to male romantic fantasies in a meaningful way?

Personally, I'd love to see more unconventional stories that flip the usual dynamics. For example, a romance where the female lead is the supernatural monster, vampire, demon, or otherworldly being, while the male lead is just an ordinary human who falls in love with her despite the dangers and differences between them. Not in a "she gets turned into a normal girl" kind of way, but where she remains the powerful, strange, and even frightening creature that she is, and the story explores their relationship from that perspective

Why?

Why do they always give the imposing and authorative role to Man like why couldn't that dragon be the FL and normal human diplomat be the ML? I am tired of this trope fo powerful and smart and lonely cold man falling in love with naive poor FL just because she talks different to him than any other girl

I think this is why Yeli asks her stepsis to call her Aunt

How did Ye Li leave for the mountain for 3-4 days. When it was just that day she asked him go to with her to temple? Also who is going to be the overall antagonist of the drama

Wow a FL who loves ML as much as he loves her quite rare to see in drama nowadays

So the empress dowager also doesn't know that they are dead when she was talking to Ye Li about them in ep 5?

So she is hallucinating about her maid Qing Shuang so does this mean she died and her mother and grandfather are also not alive and she is thinking they are alive?

This website user base becomes worse day by day, rating drama poorly early on just because you don't like certain actor or actress making into stan war. What a great website it used to be people would put into real thought about how they felt about shows instead of engaging in this bs stan wars

It's giving pretty low stakes vibes. Seen 2 episodes and there's not clear direction as to where is they story going??

They will be releasing 5 eps on 9th right?

What's the dynamic b/w them in the novel? Like is she fell first he fell harder or he fell first he fell harder type?

FL's father died ???? Then what's was the point of her going back in time???

I finished watching ep-1. So far I have liked the red color scheme throughout the drama. Plus for a pilot episode it didn't give me that sense of satisfaction that will justify the FL revenge arc it kinda seems hollow. Also is script good cos this plot has been repeated so many times that I am tired

Societal Position wise?

Can anyone spoil me a bit like does FL has more power politically or from her position or ML has. Like who is the more aggressive in the relationship?

So is it a common man/royal woman romance?

I thought at the end it was going to be a noble idiocy plot that he would breakup with her to protect her or something I am glad it wasn't like that
